Safety Information
Indicates an imminently hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, WILL
result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided,
COULD result in death or serious injury.
Indicates a potentially hazardous
situation which, if not avoided, MAY
result in minor or moderate injury.
This is a kerosene, direct-fired, forced air heater. It is primarily
intended for use for temporary heating of buildings under
construction, alteration or repair. Direct-fired means that all of the
combustion products of the heater enter the heated space. This
appliance is rated at 98% combustion efficiency, but does produce
small amounts of carbon monoxide. Carbon monoxide is toxic.
Humans can tolerate small amounts of carbon monoxide, and
precautions should be taken to provide proper ventilation. Failure
to provide proper ventilation according to this manual can result in
death. Early signs of carbon monoxide poisoning resemble the flu.
Symptoms of improper ventilation are:
* headache * dizziness * burning of the nose and eyes
* nausea * dry mouth * sore throat
For optimal performance of this heater, it is strongly suggested
that 1-K kerosene be used. 1-K kerosene has been refined to
virtually eliminate contaminants, such as sulfur, which can cause a
rotten egg odor during the operation of the heater. However, #1 or
#2 fuel oil (diesel fuel) may also be used if 1-K kerosene is not
available. Be advised that these fuels do not burn as clean as 1-K
kerosene, and care should be taken to provide more fresh air
ventilation to accommodate any added contaminants that may be
added to the heated space. Use of #1 or #2 fuel oil may result in
more periodic maintenance.
Risk of indoor air pollution!
- Use this heater only in well ventilated areas! Provide at least a
three square foot (2,800 sq cm) opening of outside air for every
100,000 BTU/hr of heater rating.
-
People with breathing problems should consult a physician
before using the heater.
-
Carbon Monoxide Poisoning: Early signs of carbon monoxide
poisoning resemble flu-like symptoms such as headaches,
dizziness, and/or nausea. If you have these symptoms, your
heater may not be working properly.
-
Get fresh air at once! Have the heater serviced. Some people
are more affected by carbon monoxide than others. These
include pregnant women, those with heart or lung problems,
anemia, or those under the influence of alcohol, or at high
altitudes.
Risk of burns / fire / explosion!
-
NEVER use fuels such as gasoline, benzene, paint thinners, or
other oil compounds in this heater (RISK OF FIRE OR
EXPLOSION).
Fire, burn, inhalation, and explosion hazard.
Keep combustibles, such as building
materials, paper or cardboard, a safe distance away from the
heater as recommended by these instructions. Never use the
heater in spaces which contain products such as gasoline,
solvents, paint thinners, dust particles, volatile or airborne com-
bustibles, or any unknown chemicals. This is an unvented
portable heater. It uses air (oxygen) from the area in which it is
used. Adequate combustion and ventilation air must be
provided. Refer to VENTILATION on Page 7.
California Residents:
Combustion by-products pro-
duced when using this product contain carbon monoxide, a
chemical known to the state of California to cause cancer and
birth defects (or other reproductive harm).
Do not operate this heater until you have
read, and thoroughly understand these
safety and operating instruction. Failure to comply with the
precautions and instructions provided with this heater can result
in death, serious bodily injury, property loss or damage from the
hazards of fire, soot production, explosion, burns, asphyxiation
or carbon monoxide poisoning. Only persons who can read and
understand these instructions should use or service this heater.
Not for use in homes or recreational vehicles.
Massachusetts Residents:
Massachusetts state law
prohibits the use of this heater in any building which is used in
whole or in part for human habitation. Use of this heating device
in Massachusetts requires local fire department permit (M.G.L.C.
148, Section 10A).
New York City Residents:
For use only at
construction sites in accordance with applicable FDNY
codes.
FDNY approval#: 5102 for HH-45 / 70T & 125T-KFA.
FDNY approval#: 5101 for HH-175T / 215T-KFA
